Is there a piece of software which lets you turn "anything" into a dynamic reorderable list?
- by Robin Green
I could write this myself, but I want to know if it already exists.
Basically, it must fulfill these criteria:
To reorder items, the user must never have to manually renumber them. That would be annoying, and it doesn't scale.
Can read from a range of data sources (e.g. a database, a directory on the file system, a text file, another list)
When the original data source changes, the list must automatically change with it (possibly with confirmation, e.g. if a list item would be deleted)
Ability to persist the list ordering in some fashion
Graphical display of list items (so that they can include e.g. images)
Optional extras:
Ability to modify data and write back to the data source (other than the ordering information)
